Ashley & Michael’s Happily Ever After began when they were just kids. “Meeting your future husband as young kids and having that childhood friendship blossom into a romance is not something you hear of everyday. It is a love that you read about in books and watch in movies! What I didn’t know as a little girl is that the little boy who moved in across the street would one day be my prince charming!”

Biggest Planning Challenges: “The most challenging part of the wedding planning was finding the time to dedicate to all of the personalized details of our wedding day.”
